Jr. (2021-07)Objective Design 3D printed skull contoured brain biopsy guides (3D-SCGs) from computed tomography (CT) or T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1W MRI). Study Design Feasibility study. Sample Population Five beagle dog cadavers and two client-owned dogs with brain tumors. Methods Helical CT and T1W MRI were performed on cadavers. Planned target point was the head of the caudate nucleus. Three-dimensional-SCGs were created from CT and MRI using commercially available open-source software. Using 3D-SCGs, biopsy needles were placed into the caudate nucleus in cadavers, and CT was performed to assess needle placement accuracy, followed by histopathology. Three-dimensional-SCGs were then created and used to perform in vivo brain tumor biopsies. Results No statistical difference was found between the planned target point and needle placement. Median needle placement error for all planned target points was 2.7 mm (range: 0.86-4.5 mm). No difference in accuracy was detected between MRI and CT-designed 3D-SCGs. Median needle placement error for the CT was 2.8 mm (range: 0.86-4.5 mm), and 2.2 mm (range: 1.7-2.7 mm) for MRI. Biopsy needles were successfully placed into the target in the two dogs with brain tumors and biopsy was successfully acquired in one dog. Conclusion Three-dimensional-SCGs designed from CT or T1W MRI allowed needle placement within 4.5 mm of the intended target in all procedures, resulting in successful biopsy in one of two live dogs. Clinical Significance This feasibility study justifies further evaluation of 3D-SCGs as alternatives in facilities that do not have access to stereotactic brain biopsy.

- Livestock and avermectins in Sub-Saharan Africa: protocol for a restricted systematic review of the impacts on productivity and documentation of resistanceRist, Cassidy; Zheng, Rose; DeBose, Kyrille (Virginia Tech, 2020-07-13)This document provides the protocol for a restricted systematic review (rapid review) intended to summarize the impacts of avermectins on livestock productivity and document resistance to avermectins in livestock in Sub-Saharan Africa. The protocol is written in alignment with the PRISMA-P statement, with modifications for a restricted systematic review.
- Master Health Literacy: A Participant-Focused Program in DevelopmentPasier, Michelle; DeBose, Kyrille; Pannabecker, Virginia (Virginia Tech, 2017-10-23)BACKGROUND Many of us face anxiety and uncertainty when it comes to health concerns. To help address this, three librarians at a research university are working with partners to develop a Master Health Literacy (MHL) volunteer program modeled after national extension programs such as ‘Master Gardener,’ and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension’s Master Wellness Volunteer program. The MHL program will provide scaffolded health literacy content and guided self-directed learning to support individuals in growing knowledge and skills, and to empower community members to access and apply information for personal and community well being. An internal grant funded student positions to conduct a literature review and environmental scan for evidence-based program development. METHODS Guiding the program development, we met with faculty partners in Population Health Sciences and Agricultural Extension. Three students were hired to conduct a review of the literature and an environmental scan of programs and educational materials; as well as to apply findings towards an initial program outline. RESULTS Literature review results will summarize: (1) need for health literacy programs, (2) successes of programs, (3) issues encountered by programs, and (4) potential solutions for preventing or addressing issues. Environmental scan results will highlight significant program websites and educational materials. A draft MHL pilot program outline will be shared. CONCLUSION The literature review and environmental scan results, and conversations with stakeholders indicate a demonstrated need, and that this program has the capacity to serve various constituencies. Based on literature review findings, we have made modifications to our original ideas; in particular to scaffold the types of information, sources, and skills for initial program content to address various levels of participant experience. We will also add training to support final program projects. As next steps, we will work with partners to develop and implement a pilot program in 2018.
- Open Access and Evidence SynthesisComer, C. Cozette; Pannabecker, Virginia; DeBose, Kyrille; Brown, Anne M.; Stewart, Ryan D.; Patino, Sofia Rincon Gallardo (Virginia Tech, 2021-10-25)This session will begin with a discussion on how open access supports several aspects of the evidence synthesis process. We’ll explore the value of having open access sources to include in the synthesis itself and some challenges that must be overcome when searching and accessing sources that require institutional access or are fee-based. We will also address ways to utilize open access repositories (such as VTechWorks and Open Science Framework) to make your synthesis more transparent so that others can properly evaluate, replicate, or use your synthesis. Additionally, we will hear cases from folks who have used open access resources or repositories as a means to support their evidence synthesis projects. Panelists include: - Dr. Sofia Rincon Gallardo Patino, Regional consultant on Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Pan American Health Organization - Dr. Anne Brown, Assistant Professor, Science Informatics Consultant at the University Libraries at Virginia Tech - Dr. Ryan Stewart, Associate Professor, School of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Virginia Tech

- Virginia Tech University Libraries’ Data Service Pilot with the College of Natural Resources and Environment (CNRE)Ogier, Andrea; DeBose, Kyrille; Nicholls, Natsuko (2015-07-01)This summary will provide the background, objectives, activities, and outcomes of the CNRE data service pilot project. Although the project has different components (training, collaborative research support, and needs assessment interviews), this report will primarily highlight the research questions, methods, and findings from interviews conducted in April 2015. A set of recommendations will be developed as we expand our capacity for data services to support the diverse research environments at Virginia Tech.
- Virtual Anatomy: expanding veterinary student learningDeBose, Kyrille (2020-10)Traditionally, there are three primary ways to learn anatomy outside the classroom. Books provide foundational knowledge but are limited in terms of object manipulation for deeper exploration. Three-dimensional (3D) software programs produced by companies including Biosphera, Sciencein3D, and Anatomage allow deeper exploration but are often costly, offered through restrictive licenses, or require expensive hardware. A new approach to teaching anatomy is to utilize virtual reality (VR) environments. The Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and University Libraries have partnered to create open education-licensed VR anatomical programs for students to freely download, access, and use. The first and most developed program is the canine model. After beta testing, this program was integrated into the first-year students' physical examination labs in fall 2019. The VR program enabled students to walk through the VR dog model to build their conceptual knowledge of the location of certain anatomical features and then apply that knowledge to live animals. This article briefly discusses the history, pedagogical goals, system requirements, and future plans of the VR program to further enrich student learning experiences.
